At first I thought that UNC b-ball team was slated for a game in Milwaukee this upcoming season, but UNC is a blue blood in lacrosse too - very exciting news about the program.

Quick story - growing up in western NY, on my street there were just as many kids playing catch with lacrosse sticks as there were with baseball gloves and the public high school was a national powerhouse and a feeder to a lot of the mid-Atlantic lacrosse programs - about a mile or so as the crow flies from our house - and you could hear the crowd roar when they scored a goal. The sticks back then were a work of art - all wood and the netting was made of leather. You never messed with another guy's stick (that's not a euphemism Mayor Beluga). You could almost imagine the native Americans playing with something similar way back when.

As a little kid I thought it was primarily a Protestant sport as all my Protestant/Public school buddies played lacrosse and none of my Catholic grade school and high school classmates ever played it. I also thought only Protestants were mechanically inclined and were the only ones that went camping - all based upon my father's shortcomings in both areas, but I digress. The things you think as a kid.

My freshman year at MU in the fall of '76 a guy who lived a couple doors from me grew up about 45 minutes from me and we quickly become life long friends - stayed at his and his wife's place this weekend when I opened up our family cabin not too far from Syracuse (I've seen the SU lacrosse coach a few times at the Tops supermarket in the village over the years).

My buddy played lacrosse in high school (a public high school of course) and within the first few days of checking into McCormick we played catch in the area that is now between McCormick and the Alumni Union - me with my baseball glove and he with his lacrosse stick. We didn't expect what happened - he almost stopped traffic by the bus stop at the corner of 15th and Wisconsin - people pointing out their windows yelling or just staring - a lacrosse stick and the game itself was pretty exotic back then. The sport has come a long way since then.

Go MU!

They played tough, but fell just short - nice run.

With losing 19 seniors will how many frosh are coming in or are they bringing transfers and JC guys in to help balance the classes?

Got to love schools that win with class....

The students were giving him the business when MU attacked that end. No excuse, but it wasn't unprovoked.

Super entertaining game and a fun atmosphere at the Valley. Too bad they couldn't force OT.
